The National Center for Missing & Exploited Children (NCMEC) operates the U.S. CyberTipline, which receives reports of suspected child s*xual exploitation from the public and electronic service providers.

While online child s*x trafficking is not a new crime, mandated reporting under the REPORT Act is exposing its true pervasiveness across digital platforms for the first time. In 2025, reports to the CyberTipline related to child s*x trafficking surged by 323% compared to 2024.

Having long advocated for these statutory changes with the REPORT Act, NCMEC is now seeing the REPORT Act deliver a more realistic reflection of the volume of children being trafficked for s*x online. Pedal the Pacific is proud to support NCMEC as our primary beneficiary and their critical work to protect children.

Biking for 50 days requires our riders to constantly fuel their bodies!

We are so grateful to brands like CHUZA spicy dried fruit snacks, Seattle Gummy Company, and CHiPZ HAPPEN for partnering with us to keep our support and gear (SAG) van stocked. There is nothing better than grabbing your favorite snack at a SAG stop!

We are excited to introduce our first ever team of PTP Regional Leads!

These alumni are ready to share the mission of Pedal the Pacific and the realities of domestic s*x trafficking with their local communities through grassroots advocacy and events. We are so grateful for their leadership, energy, and continued dedication to this fight.

Stay tuned for upcoming gatherings and events in a city near you!🤩

Down the Pacific Coast, our riders have countless interactions with strangers at campsites, restaurants, the side of the road, and everywhere in between. Our Kindness of Strangers Report shares stories of how this kindness and encouragement propels our riders forward.

Today, we wanted to share a story about a stranger who reinforced our riders’ “why.”

“On our second day of the ride, a woman followed us to the SAG (support and gear van) stop and pulled over to share that she had been trafficked by a family member. She was in tears sharing how important it was to her that she saw people cared about her enough to ride down the coast.

She said that the words on the SAG and on the backs of our jerseys make people feel seen and cared for. It was a really impactful moment to have so early on in the ride, and has stuck with us since.” - Ally Tripure & Katherine Thomas, PTP ’23

Our last pedal school lesson is LIVE!

Today, we are joined by the wonderful Savannah Lovelace, Allison Tripure, and Ariel Marlowe! 💥💥💥

They help break down the gear you need and share tips to feel confident and prepared for your first trip.

Bike touring can be intimidating! Most of our riders had never been on a bike packing trip before Pedal, but learned the basics during training from our Training & Gear Officer.

Where are you bike touring to first??

Class dismissed! 📝📚
